Senegal - North Agro-Industrial Processing Zone Project - SAPZ-Nord Or Agropole-Nord

About this project

The operation for the Projet de Zone de Transformation Agro-industrielle du Nord (PZTA-Nord or Agropole-Nord) consists of a syndication in which the Bank's participation amounts to 86.89 million euros (30.7%) out of a total cost of 283.05 million euros. This intervention aims to develop and modernize the agricultural economy in the North zone by accelerating the industrial transformation of products from the main Agro-Sylvo-Pastoral and Halieutic (ASPH) value chains, which have real potential in terms of import substitution (rice, corn, farmed fish, milk, onions, tomatoes, meat, wheat) and export (gum arabic, onions, hides and skins, etc.), while occupying a significant number of households. By setting up an integrated ecosystem of infrastructures and services along the production, processing, and marketing chains for processed products, the Northern Agropolis will gradually ensure the capture of added value and the generation of additional income for households in the area. The project contributes to climate finance, with 54 million USD of the total approved amount dedicated to adaptation.
